Tue, 12 Nov 2013 17:18:04 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2223771#comment-2937590Pryor is not the problem but our QB solution. He has no time to read and throw with no blocking, and the receivers are not getting separation to be thrown to. If they do get open then they drop balls that are catchable and some hit them in the numbers that are dropped, but let’s blame Pryor who is a rookie in his 9Th start, on his 3rd playbook in 3 years and new coaching staff. You guys expect him to just miraculously start winning games with no offensive help and these challenges? That’s just unfair, unrealistic and ridiculous! Rome was not built in a day, but our team basically has been.

Pryor makes Alex Smith look like Namath.
—————-
Pryor caught a sack on every other play during the first game with the Chiefs, and still put up better numbers than Alex D. Smith. Smith has started more seasons than Pryor has games. You should compare Smith to someone who matters.

Some of you so called “Raiders” fans disgust me. Four weeks ago you were all praising our young inexperienced quarterback as our future now your calling for his head. What an embarrassment you guys are as fans. Pryor has the skills to be a quarterback in this league it’s already been proven. He has the skill set, he has the drive, he is a leader and he is smart. He is no Tim Tebow. This is his first year starting under center as quarterback in the NFL. Let’s give the kid a chance before you start screaming off with his head! Let’s draft a QB. Let’s switch quarterbacks! Let’s give him a few seasons to excel at the position and watch him thrive. He is going to be great. We all knew we weren’t in the chase for the Superbowl this year so relax. Let’s let the kid learn and build our team next year with our cap space to get people to compliment his skill set as a quarterback. I am a Raider fan win, lose or tie.

This is exactly why we have been rebuilding for 12 years and not getting any better. Your wrong. He has proven is is not smart enough to play in the NFL. He makes terrible decisions. Holds the ball forever. The Raiders will never be better with Pryor at QB and I will bet you anything you want. Kills me to see KC go from worst to best in one year basically because they picked up a good, smart QB. Granted our OL is also horrible and needs to improve.

I’m guessing that if he’d had a decent day, the knee wouldn’t have been an issue.

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 22:15:41 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2223771#comment-2935765Any turnover is a “gift” and the Giants also got their fair share of “gifts”.

Crawford blocks out thinking he has inside help and the punt is blocked–bad decision–there’s a gift.

The poor decision by Pryor and the subsequent pickoff that sets up the winning TD–a “gift”.

The fact that the starting Raiders’ QB was hobbled and not up to 100% could be considered a “gift”.

Get over the idea that the Raiders had “gifts”. It was a game that pitted two sub .500 teams in which the team that made the least mistakes won the game.

Again, the Raiders shouldn’t have even been in the game. Don’t act like a call here, a call there, a play here or a play there for the Raiders was the difference. The gift turnovers were the only reason the Raiders didn’t lose by 30.

Period.

Really hats off to the refs…they watched the Giants play a perfect game yesterday.

Regardless of Pryors play. Raiders should have won . Jennings should of had 30 plus carries. Especially on 3rd and one yard to goal . Terrible oc calls.
—————

The gift turnovers, not forced, but gifts, don’t factor into your equation ha? The Raiders shouldn’t have even been in the game.

If the Giants hadn’t been in a benevolent mood with the football yet again Sunday, it would have been a replay of the Raiders’ previous embarrassing loss.

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 18:41:09 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2223771#comment-2935217Terrelle Pryor is a ridiculously bad quarterback who thinks that there is a mandatory thirty second pause before the defensive lineman can take him down. Thus, he hangs onto the ball for what seems like an eternity. And his accuracy is just awful.

Terrelle Pryor has been in the league long enough now – he’s not anywhere near the level of a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:01:19 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2223771#comment-2934642I feel that in general, the expectations for Pryor are too high. He has single handedly kept the Raiders in some games. McGloin would get destroyed behind that O-line. I think the Raiders need to address the #2 receiver in the draft. Also getting a solid TE and RB should be a priority in the offseason. Also, the O-line needs more pumped into it. I caught a game earlier in the year, and Pryor was running for his life most of the game. Also, the defense seems inconsistent. Some weeks they are lights out, other weeks they are getting bombed and can’t get a stop.

Denver was a playoff team prior to Manning coming there. They have endless weapons on offense and Manning and Welker are just the icing on the cake. KC had a top ten defense the last couple of years and finally added a competant QB who can manage the games and do enough to win. I wouldn’t say Alex Smith is a good QB, but someone that can manage the offense, and put up enough points to allow the defense to dominate. I do not feel that the Raiders are in that category. I think best case is 2 good offseasons and you are competitive. Manning or Smith couldn’t come to Oakland and bam all of a sudden they are a playoff team. I am high on the Raiders long-term and I think Pryor can be the solution, but he needs a lot more weapons and help, similar to what Manning and Smith have with their respective teams.

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:11:37 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2223771#comment-2934514This season is a waste. Time to see if McGloin is the QB of the future or need to draft or trade for a decent QB. Also time to give up on McFadden. Jennings is a better and more dependable back. Funny how Denver and KC pick up good, smart QB’s and are both playoff teams. I know there is more to it than QB but it starts there. If the QB keeps giving games away, it doesnt matter what the rest of the team does. Pryor is not the answer.

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:08:14 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2223771#comment-2934507I agree with most here and said it before the season started. I don’t think Pryor is the answer at QB. McGloin should have played if Pryor’s wheel was broke. Pryor should have asked to be taken out of the game. That my friend is a leader. He would have shown more respect if he’d have done that. The OL stunk. The only thing on offense was Jennings that showed promise. DMC can be replaced so I’d say either he signs for a very low pricetag or he’s history. The Raiders blame everything on injuries, well other teams have them also and do quite well. Allen is becoming very suspect as HC. I was never sold on him either. How many years has the Raiders been broke? How much longer will it be before they become contenders again? I’m tired of waiting, been patient long enough.

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:52:49 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2223771#comment-2934484Pryor is a joke. I say this as a die hard Raider fan for 35 years. He holds the ball way too long and cant make a decision. When he drops back to pass and scrambles a little, he is 25 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Why has it taken 12 years for the Raiders to rebuild when other teams do it in one or two years? We need a smart pocket quarterback like a Manning, Brady, Rogers. It is almost too painful to watch them anymore.

When Veldheer comes back and the Oline is healthy, Matt McGloin should be the QB for the Raiders. Terrell Pryor is not the QB of the future for the Raiders.

If Matt McGloin cannot prove himself this year the Draft has some QBs to explore.

You absolutely nailed it, find another position for him to play, maybe as a hybrid TE/WR.

WE don’t want to waste time like the Bungals are doing with the red rooster.

You are right on. He can not read a blitz or coverage. I love his attitude, but I question the Offensive Co-ordinator more. This has been pathetic. The Defense is doing great considering the lack of talent, but the offense needs to get new leadership. And I am really starting to question the Head Coach too. BTW, goraidersgospurs was right on too.

I love the kid and really wanted him to succeed, but it’s very clear that he doesn’t have what it takes to lead a team to a title. I want him on the team, just not at QB.
